About Tobias Schneebaum

Tobias Schneebaum is a painter, an archeologist, and a founder of one museum in NY. In the movie, I learned about his journey to Papua New Guinea and Machu Picchu, Peru.

Around 1961 & 1973, he went to Bali, Sumbawa, then he ended his journey in Papua New Guinea. In there, he learned about Asmat tribe especially about how they crafted many unique statue and homosexuality in this tribe. He also mentioned unique greetings in this tribe that are: holding testicle or clashing your chin with other male.

Beside visiting Papua New Guinea, he also went to Machu Picchu, Peru in 1969. Most of people thought he was killed by the Amazonian Tribe. However, he is safe and he wrote a book about his journey and the title of his book is "Keep the River in Your Right". Another book that he wrote is "Wild Act".

During the movie, I was learning tobia is a practical person, an adventure, and a kind person. I like a lot about his passion and how focus he is in reaching his goal and digging some information about something that he is not understand. However, I dislike about when someone asked about something, he looked like so wishy washy in his opinion not cut to the point.

For overall performance of this movie, I have to say that I felt so bored and sleepy when I was watching this movie because he talked too much about the homosexuality in Papua New Guinea. I am also confused about when he talked this matter. I think there is no homosexuality in PNG because when I learned about PNG, about their greeting and how they stay together all of men in one house even though they are married.. These matters are the part of the traditional habit in PNG not homo's actions.
